Do you think that Wordsworth establishes a new poetic theory? What are the main features of his theory?

Wordsworth is often credited with establishing a new poetic theory that marked a significant departure from the conventions of eighteenth-century poetry. His ideas, particularly as articulated in the "Preface to Lyrical Ballads" (first edition 1800, extensively revised in 1802), constitute a foundational moment in the Romantic movement and literary criticism. His theory is not merely a stylistic shift but also a philosophical and aesthetic manifesto that challenges the dominant neoclassical principles and proposes a radical redefinition of poetry's nature, purpose, language, and subject matter.

At the core of Wordsworth’s poetic theory is the idea that poetry is the "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings," which originates from deep emotions recollected in tranquility. This notion emphasizes the emotional and psychological process behind poetry creation. Rather than the carefully crafted artifice characteristic of neoclassical poetry, Wordsworth champions authenticity and sincerity. He believes poetry should arise from genuine feelings that the poet has experienced, and then thoughtfully reflected upon, thereby combining spontaneity with reflective thought. This approach elevates personal experience and emotion as the primary source of poetic inspiration.

Another crucial feature of Wordsworth’s theory is his emphasis on the language of poetry. He _____ _____ ________ ________ ______ ________ __________ _____ _____ _______ _____.
